If you're one of the lucky few that managed to get a BMW i3 heading your way, or have your sights set on the soon-to-come i8, then your passion for luxury and speed can only be met by your love for the earth. Our favorite Bavarian automaker is helping to get things even greener than ever with their Solar Carport Concept that's as beautiful as it is helpful.

Utilizing modern solar panels to absorb energy from the sun, you can charge up your vehicle completely free from the power grid! Of course, you can also connect to the grid for a faster charge, just in case you're in a hurry.

There's no word if or when it will be something we can get for ourselves, so keep returning to our blog and we'll be sure to drop the details when they come. For everything else new BMW-related, come on down to Bert Smith BMW in St. Petersburg, FL at your earliest convenience.
